Republicans think President Trump needs a 'quarterback' as impeachment proceedings go public
As the impeachment battle moves into a public phase next week after nearly two months of private depositions, Democrats are focused on telling a clear, focused and compelling story, and some Republicans are worried that President Trump’s go-it-alone communications strategy is not working.
A source close to White House impeachment efforts said Paoletta is “a fighter who understands these fights because he’s been in them many times before.” “The most important thing in any writing or any presentation is to be able to tell the story clearly,” Lawrence said. The top Republican on the Intelligence Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., will then have 45 minutes of his own to cross-examine the witnesses. That process will begin on Wednesday with William Taylor Jr., a former Army officer and lifelong diplomat who is now best known for his text message calling Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine “crazy.”
But some Republicans worry that Trump’s current strategy of fighting the impeachment battle primarily on his own is not doing the job. "The Senate is not going to remove President Trump,” Davis said. “The issue is, is he going to be so damaged out of this that he loses reelection and the Republican Party is so damaged that we lose the Senate?”
Jennings, who is a regular commentator on CNN, said that during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, he “felt like the Senate and the White House were constantly keeping all of us out here in the public conversation updated with the best possible information and angles to work.”
